Appleseed (2004)

A Japanese animation with a unique visual flair that’s CGI motion capture but respectful to cel animation colouring methods, and also faithful to traditional Japanese styles. It's hard to describe in words. It’s much too polished at times but it’s undeniably beautiful to look at.
It attempts to inject some emotion into a typically exposition-heavy Masamune Shirow narrative about future societies and what it is that makes us human, and occasionally it succeeds.
